Next DFS screening Thursday 14th November: The Iris @ The MercuryBOOKINGS:
https://events.humanitix.com/screening-and-conversation-encounters-crossovers-archie-moore
This season, Archie Moore's (Kamilaroi/Bigambul) exhibition Dwelling (Adelaide Issue) is partnered with two Palestinian films that explore homeland as a place of traditions and connection, as well as one under constant surveillance and control. Both UNDR and Foragers deploy a range of cinematic modes to tell these powerful stories.
Following the screenings, Munro and Samstag’s Associate Curator Anna Zagala will consider the crossover of art and films – what do artistic moving image and experimental nonfiction have to say to each other?
This event will be accompanied by a commissioned essay by Dominic Guerrera, a Ngarrindjeri, Kaurna and Italian writer whose work explores themes of Aboriginality, Queerness, decolonising and storytelling within the mediums of poetry, essays, podcasting and photography.
**UNDR (2024)**
Directed by Kamal Aljafari
A helicopter sweeps the desert, surveying a land at once ancient and modern, natural and built. Farmers work their fields, children play hide and seek, and bells sound a call to prayer. UNDR is a poignant found-footage film about an otherworldly landscape charged with history and potential that has become an eerie site of surveillance and incursion.
**Foragers (2022)**
Directed by Jumana Manna
Shot in the Golan Heights, the Galilee and Jerusalem, Foragers moves between fiction, documentary and archival footage to portray the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on the Palestinian custom of collecting native herbs. Foragers captures the inherited love, joy and knowledge in these traditions alongside their resilience to the prohibitive law.
